war thinking people
I think the reaction to a World War II situation would be the same today as it was in 1942. Initially, people would question, but once patriotism got stirred up, the whole thing would gather momentum and we'd all pull together.
mistake classic made
I made a classic mistake. I held out for something better.
dancing used
I used to a lot. I used to go dancing.
acting like-you ifs
If it seems like you're doing work when you're acting, then you're doing something wrong.
morning lines get-up
What I do is not some magical, mystical thing. I simply get up in the morning, get to work on time, say my lines, and do the best I can
fighting simple guy
In 1942, everyone was ready to go and fight for the good guys. It was so simple.
able entertainment reason
In this business, you just never know from day to day. It's one reason I held off getting too involved in entertainment. I like being able to plan, I like to know what I'm going to be doing.
play television done
Good work is good work wherever it's done, in a play, a motion picture or television, and that includes commercials
real listening lines
What I hear all the time is to stop and listen. When you do a scene 30 times, and know the lines, you stop listening. The point is to listen, that's the only thing that can make it real.

stars boys careers
During the time I was on The Hardy Boys, I was also watching other people's careers. I thought the next step was to be a movie star. I kept saying no to projects, and offers stopped coming in. I was no longer hot
school two california
The first two pictures I did, I played a young student in prep school. When I did Lifeguard, everyone was saying, You're so Southern California. It was a surprise to me
thinking tv-shows people
I never thought of myself as being that good looking, I was an actor, people saw me on television, and then they start to think you're good looking because of that presentation. I was no better looking before the show, than after - and before the TV show I couldn't get a date to save my life. So what changed? Did I suddenly become more good looking? No. I got lucky, I got a TV show. That's what happened.
years five
I'm more interested in where I'll be in five or 10 years than where I am now
